About Tom Overtoom

Born 1990. Tom Overtoom is a Dutch association football player.

Sparta Rotterdam On 21 June 2011, Overtoom signed a two-year contract with Eerste Divisie club Sparta Rotterdam. He scored two goals in 15 appearances during his only season at the club, before deciding to terminate his contract by mutual consent.

Veendam On 1 August 2012, he signed a two-year contract with Veendam. Due to the bankruptcy of the club in March 2013, as it later turned out, he would score the last professional goal in the club's history during the match against FC Oss on 15 March 2013, which they won 2–1. After that, he maintained his fitness at Groningen, attracting interest from various domestic and foreign clubs.

Volendam In June 2013, Overtoom joined Volendam on a two-year deal. He made his debut for the club on 3 August 2013, the first matchday of the season, starting and providing an assist in a 3–2 away victory against Almere City, in which Robert Mühren scored a hat-trick. In his first season, he was named Player of the Year. However, in his second year at the club, he played less than half of the matches due to a hip injury. On 1 July 2015, he became a free agent as he chose not to renew his contract with Volendam.

Excelsior In July 2015, Overtoom signed a one-year contract with Excelsior, with an option for an additional season. After making only four appearances during six months at the club, he was sent on loan to Emmen in January 2016.

Almere City and NEC In July 2016, he signed a two-year contract with Almere City. In the summer of 2018, he followed his coach Jack de Gier to NEC, where he signed a three-year contract. On 17 August, he made his debut for the club in a home game against Cambuur. On 4 November, he scored his first goal for NEC in a 3–1 home victory against Jong AZ. On 12 June 2020, his contract, which still had one year remaining, was terminated by NEC by mutual consent.

Telstar On 19 November 2020, Overtoom signed with Telstar as a free agent following a successful trial period. He made his debut on 4 December, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 home defeat to Cambuur. Overtoom became a regular in the side and played a key role during the 2022–23 season, making 32 appearances—30 of them starts—as Telstar finished ninth, their best league finish since 2018 and second-best since 2005.

On 29 May 2024, he signed a one-year contract extension through June 2025. Over five seasons with the club, Overtoom made 116 appearances. In the 2024–25 season, he was part of the squad that earned promotion to the Eredivisie via the play-offs, defeating Willem II over two legs in the final.

Rijnsburgse Boys On 16 May 2025, Overtoom joined Tweede Divisie side Rijnsburgse Boys ahead of the 2025–26 season.
